yeah, the question (as I see it) is that for the same average power is a human better than a flat constant power.
does changing gears and loss of power as the gradients change or increase of power as they get harder impact you negatively compared to just holding a constant power without any fluctuations. (everything else being equal)
from our very robust sample of 1 it seems that it kind of nets off to pretty much end up at the same/similar times
Yeah I know that, I can read. Was simply commenting that in the one style of riding discussed NP might be slightly higher than AP (probably not much though) and it would be interesting to know that number to see how AP, NP and steady ERG all compare.
I think that too, but I’m not the one who is saying ERG mode gives a huge advantage. From my testing it seems to me that it does not. What I’m trying to understand is for folks that think ERG gives a big advantage … how big do they think that advantage is…
